Value of bone scanning in detecting occult skeletal metastases from adenocarcinoma of the endometrium. 1982

C R Kamath, and Y Maruyama, and F H DeLand, and J R vanNagell

Bone scans were obtained in patients with adenocarcinoma of the uterus in order to search for occult skeletal metastases. Radiological studies in 350 patients with adenocarcinoma of the uterus treated at the University of Kentucky Medical Center were reviewed. All patients studied in Stage 1A, Stage 1BG1, and Stage G2 were negative. Bone scans performed since 1973 were reviewed. One out of 11 patients studied with G3 lesions had a positive scan. Four out of 41 patients with Stage 2 lesions had positive scans, seven out of 18 in Stage 3, and two out of nine in Stage 4 disease. Four out of 71 patients with recurrent tumor had positive scans. In general, all positive scans were associated with significant symptoms in the patients studied. The results correlated well with x-ray findings as evaluated by conventional radiologic studies.

D011877 Radionuclide Imaging The production of an image obtained by cameras that detect the radioactive emissions of an injected radionuclide as it has distributed differentially throughout tissues in the body. The image obtained from a moving detector is called a scan, while the image obtained from a stationary camera device is called a scintiphotograph.
